Atlus Re-Releases Stella Deus On The PlayStation Network

Stella Deus: The Gate of Eternity released on PlayStation 2 back in 2005. Today, Atlus has re-released the game as a PlayStation 2 classic on the PlayStation Network.

Stella Deus is a game just two years shy of its ten year anniversary. It's a strategy title with hand-drawn artwork, making it a game that is easy on the eyes. It's available to download now on the PlayStation Network for $9.99.

Our TakeIt's always good to see these niche titles get new life in the world of digital distribution. I never played Stella Deus myself, but considering it's an Atlus game, I'm sure there is a dedicated fanbase out there very excited to dive back into the game, or experience it for the first time.

Well doing some research. Stella Deus very much like Operation Darkness. Both titles got rather low to favorable reviews of its peers. It is very much a niche title. Will warn that the voice acting is rather weak but the difficulty is rather easy to get into. But a pretty game for a mid-to-late title for a PS2 game. Shoot...may look into it myself if GI does its own review as IGN is sometimes very bias when it comes to some Atlus titled games. If it ain't SMT. They seem to give the games a bad review. All I am saying.

Oh God don't tell me this! I'm already juggling about seven games right now, and I plan on getting Diablo 3 this weekend. And I haven't even gotten to SMT 4 yet. I need a video game personal trainer to help me get through this backlog building up around me...

Last week, Sony put up Crimson Sea 2. Before that, The Red Star. This week, Stella Deus comes to the PS2 Classics store. It's too early to establish a pattern here, but I'm hoping that they continue to release quality, overlooked games on the PS2 Classics line from here on out. Hopefully, we can put the days of "Go Diego Go" and "Ruff Trigger" behind us in that regard.

May check this out...sounds like Final Fnatasy Tactics- level of plotline, and Ogre Battle elements of job class and leveling mixed with some Record of Agarest War-type combat, and reviews have been favorable from what I was able to find.

Atlus certainly seems to be churning out a lot of announcements and releases recently--in the wake of them being put up for sale. I wonder if these things are linked? Is Atlus trying to get as many more releases out as possible before coming under new management, or this is this just a coincidence?
